Target Stores —

Target is possibly my favourite all-around store. I am there so often, I couldn't even give you a weekly average. I get all my baby supplies there, some food, clothing, makeup, basics like toilet paper...

I love to just go there and look. Their marketing is unreal; from the red and white pop of their decor to their price tags.

I will always be a Target lover - you couldn't change my mind about it if you tried.

If I'm there for pleasure shopping, I usually hit the racks in this order:

Dollar/Value Bins: I even found a totally cute "jacket" for my chihuahua once! For $2.50, it fits pretty well! And it's PINK!
I glance past the accessory/handbag section; I'm more of a high-end bag girl (always bought marked down, of course) so this doesn't apply to me much, but occasionally something will catch my eye
Straight to the plus-size section to check out their clearance racks. I have bought shirts for $3.24! If you launder Target garments fairly gently, they will hold up for at least a year, and at $3.24 cents, I could use the top for target practice after that amount of time! (That's less than a penny a day, people!)
Check out the baby goods for sales; I do buy some clothes here, but I also like to stock up on feeding accessories, toys, and cute little gift things. Circo brand (one of Target's exclusives) also make pretty good baby socks. Watch out for the clothes; they run a wee bit small. Don't pass up on "Just One Year" - a division of Carters!
Check out the home goods for sales/clearance/just to browse

Then of course the rest of the store gets looked at off and on, but these are my "must stops."

I do buy makeup and beauty products here sometimes, and Target recently added "high end" lines. I haven't purchased these yet; I figure, why not just go to Sephora? But they do look rather nice, if not a tad overpriced.
